Hmmmm, your experience doesn't inspire much confidence. Given the significant cost involved (whether it be the BMW Performance Power Kit or Dinan Stage 2) I would have hoped for a little more knowledge or expertise! It will be interesting to see what kind of discounts may surface in the springtime. Anyway, I'll keep you posted. Thanks! |

I can honestly say I have had a great relationship with MW the only time I haven't had a E9X for a loaner, I was given an X3. But i only take one if I need one. Although I think it helps if you have your wife or GF set up the appointment! My wife always gets the royal treatment.

I've gotten a few rentals from MW. My favorite though was this. This was back March of 09. |

I loved my bmw rental especially for its power-folding side-view mirrors. Don't ask how long I was in my garage just totally fascinated by it.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I was under the impression that an FMIC was better as street option when compared to Meth. Surely, the install is a lot easier? |

Man, you are getting serious now - I assume that you have decided to keep your car Seriously, that does look like a clean setup. What kind of gains are you expecting? I would be curious about it being reversible also, important if you needed to bring it into the dealer for a problem.
I hear you on the tracking, I'm joining the CCA and would like to participate in some of their local events. However, I don't think I could bring myself to use the E92 on a track, as any f-ups on my part would be expensive to fix! |

I can change those settings through the column stalk as I don't have iDrive. First thing I did was turn DRLs off and tripple flash on. Traditional turn signals really annoy me now after getting used to this! |

I do agree that it look's cool though, the dash on the standard car is a little bland w/o the screen... |

Nick- In regards to the FMIC, I cannot stress enough how beneficial and safe a FMIC is..especially compared to meth. I'm not sure who told you that taking off the bumper is necessary, but it definitely is not necessary. You just have to take off the undertray, then take off 2 bolts, 2 couplers/clamps, and whammo you've got the stock one off. Start to finish, It takes me 25 minutes to revert to the stock intercooler, and half that time is jacking it up and taking off the undertray.
As far as boost leaks, I'm not sure why that is a concern? I've only heard of a couple stories of a leaky connection, but they are always due to improper install or hitting a snowbank and ripping the IC off backwards (like my girlfriend did). After a proper install, there is really zero chance of a boost leak. For brands, I would recommend first AMS, followed by Helix,AA,etc.. I'm not sold on the HPF IC, particularly the use of the stock end tanks. Hope this helps! I can help install an IC anytime! I've got a heated garage if you've got a 6 pack of corona to share |
